Skeletal editing as synthetic tool to prepare benzo[e][1,2,4]triazines from 2aminobenzimidazoles via nitrogen atom insertion
Abstract
Herein, we report a one-pot, two-step reaction that converts readily available 2-aminobenzimidazoles into scarcely accessible benzo[e][1,2,4]triazines via nitrogen atom insertion. This sequential transformation includes an electrophilic amination step with bench-stable MSH.HOTf, followed by an oxidation with commercial hypervalent iodine reactant. The developed reaction encompasses a wide array of functional handles that could be exploited for post-modification, thus highlighting the synthetic utility of the present work.
